I can honestly say that I owe my current life to Dr. Emoto’s work. Early in 2008, I saw the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know?” which featured his work. At the time, due to some childhood trauma, I was suffering from all sorts of root chakra issues – problems with my knees, my finances and my career – just to name a few. My biggest issue, though, was constant anxiety. I just didn’t feel calm or safe in my own body. Doing yoga would help temporarily, but then I’d go to bed and my body’s cellular memory would kick back in and I’d awake anxious again.

Science says there’s a good chance you don’t know what really makes you happy. When estimating our happiness, we humans tend to engage in something called “impact bias” where we overestimate the actual effect that different outcomes will have on our lives.

When if they think they’d be happier winning the lottery or becoming paraplegic, most people quite understandably respond that they’d be happier with all that money and no handicap.

Still, real life statistics show that one year after winning the lottery or losing the use of their lower body, people in both these groups are equally happy. Yes, really, EQUALLY.

It’s great to strive to do your best, but when that feeling becomes a compulsion, when you lose sleep because some project didn’t turn out right, or when nothing you can do feels quite good enough, you have veered into the unhealthy territory of perfectionism.

I think life flashes us these false “End of Trail” signs all the time. But we don’t have to believe them or heed them. And THAT is my final Cathedral Rock Lesson: There’s Always More So Forge New Trails. The most exciting stuff begins where the tried-and-true leaves off, right? Now, let me be very clear, there are definitely rewards for going beyond where you usual do (or where others have rarely gone before), but there is also usually a price to pay. Paved roads are easy to walk, whereas creating new pathways in your life may require that you pull out your metaphorical machete and start hacking away at that jungle brush.

When it comes to sex, it’s not just what we do that is important, but what we don’t do. Most of us have a litany of preconceptions about sex. We have sex advice coming from every angle, and much of it is misguided. When it comes to sex there are a bunch of things one needs to let go of to really enjoy the optimal passion. Here is a bunch.

In our society we spend a lot of time glamorizing or demonizing sex. This video shows interviews of real men and their take on sexuality and relationship, also what sex is and how men balance ‘being the man’ with being a ‘good guy’.

Many used to believe that symbols are the fanciful creations of poets, musicians and artists.. It is now realized that artists don’t create the symbols of human existence. They observe them. Our lives are filled to the brim with meaningful symbols. Life is always communicating with us symbolically.

Since commitment-phobes tend to think of all commitment as bad. For this discussion, I’m going to separate the “good” from the “bad” and only talk about commitment to something that is good for your mind, body and/or soul. These kinds of commitments lead to true freedom.

We all know how important environment is to romance and passion. When we want to create a sensual mood, we go out to a fancy restaurant with subdued lighting and suggestive art. Then we go home to… well, a less enticing ambiance in our own bedroom. Here are some feng shui suggestions on how to make your bedroom more sexually inviting.

It’s unconditional prayer, the practice of communicating with the Divine for the more connection, service and surrender. Unconditional prayer is the anti-thesis of “shopping list” praying where we tell the Divine what we want and when we want it.

The study, summarized in Scientific American, says similar regions light up in the right-brain during orgasm and meditation. But, according to the article, there is one key difference: “Unlike meditation, orgasm seems a heightened sense of being within one’s body rather than the sense of being outside of it.”
